A friend of mine in Texas took this and is wondering if it's a Red-tailed Hawk. Darn good guess, I'd say, but I'm terrible at ID'ing hawks.
Could someone help?
Thanks!

CLOSED: Red Tailed Hawk?
Yep, right on!

Thanks, Resin. :)
Note the dark patagial marks (black bands on the leading edge of the underwings between shoulder and "elbow") - they are a good fieldmark for red-tailed hawks in lighter phase plumages.
Thanks, Alta. That's a good thing to know. I'll pass that along to my friend (and try to remember it myself.) ;->
